my take on this issue is it helps the feeling of remembering to keep your arms inside the box, ie in front of your chest, and making sure your shoulders never outrace your arms. this drill promotes not spinning the hell out of your shoulders from the top, and rather just making a good sequence where your arms swing through before your shoulders open up as they release.

before i came across this drill, i would just try to drop my left arm and keep my shoulders facing away from the target, letting the shoulders open up naturally as my right forced my left to open at impact. however, i had too much feeling of a half-powered swing, so i'm very glad this drill was posted.

renoaz, you can couple those two drills, the new one is more specifically the exact "HOW" of how to do it.

finncox, you can add a little tilt or move the ball slightly forward for the longer clubs, while working to maintain the same feelings.

cardio, it's there during the transition and then mellows it. Some golfers still need to focus on it because they don't do it enough. However, most of my students over do it so I tend to focus less on it.

ruf, while you're doing this drill slow, you may notice some strain on the back of the right wrist and that is normal. You won't feel this during the swing, just while you're going slow and trying to support the weight of the club.

golfloopy, don't over do it, you don't need to really feel anything in the left hand.

paul, it's gradually extending to full extension just after impact. For your second question, it can also be caused by pushing from the right side, but that's not the origin of movement for most, it just appears that way visually to some.

I use the pump drill alot when I am feeling early release to ingrain lag. Also, I like to feel like the butt end(handle) of the club is pointing down at the ball and through to the target line before impact. With irons, these drills have me hitting ball first crisp irons. With driver however these drills can cause me to hit fades.

love the new video. exactly what i need in my golf swing. im having a little bit of trouble on "feel)ing" exactly what the right arm and wrist is supposed to do even though chuck explained it in his video. im getting close to it but if the dude in the video saw such a huge difference in just 10 min then i feel like i can to. heres a vid of me hitting a 6 iron (knockdown which is why the ball is so far back in my stance. super windy) my hands are leading the club descent here but i know i can get a little more lag . i do get the occasional fat shot due to this problem. help!!!

Very athletic swing. Good-looking move.

Have you tried the right-hand-only swing? It's a mind-blower for a while. But, it gets to be fun after a couple of weeks. The other drill I've been doing in conjunction with this is using my daughters old hula-hoop to engrain pulling down and getting the hands out in front. Sounds silly enough. But, I'm finding it to be helpful.

I struggle with a flip for a long time and this thought of dropping the right arm down is helping me get better compression. But one big caveat!!! You better keep the shoulders close coming down as he said, if those shoulders spin out, your hands go left too soon a and you get a face pointing straight and a path way left (out to in )You wind up with a dead square face, ball contact in the center, but a shot that goes out to the right.
